Rosa Yves Piaget Climbing - Climbing Rose

The YVES PIAGET® Rose is a stunning variety that not only catches the eye but also delights with its fragrance. This medium-growing climber develops beautiful dark green foliage that perfectly frames its extraordinary flowering. From May to autumn, it produces large, boldly double, peony-like roses that irresistibly evoke the charm of some old-fashioned roses. To top it off, the blooms exud a powerful May rose fragrance that enchants the senses. This highly disease-resistant rose proves easy to grow in most soils in a sunny position.

The Yves Piaget 'Keitsupiatsu' Climbing Rose is a natural mutation of the variety by the same name, a hybrid tea rose with multiple awards, introduced in 1982, and boasting no fewer than five cultivars in its lineage ('Pharaon', 'La Paix', 'Chrysler Impérial', 'Charles Mallerin', and 'Tamango'). This 2014 Meilland selection produces a plant approximately 2 to 2.50 metres in height and spread. Its compound foliage of rich dark green has an almost matt, slightly satiny surface, retaining its hue throughout the season as it shows strong resistance to common rose diseases. This dark foliage is ideal for highlighting the lighter blooms which appear in spring. The first roses emerge from May, blooming abundantly until late June, followed by several waves in summer before a significant second flowering in autumn. The opening buds initially resemble carnation flowers with slightly fringed petal tips before fully unfurling to form large roses averaging 13 cm in diameter. Their creased appearance mimics certain peonies, and some blooms also feature quartered petals like some old-fashioned varieties, evoking a romantic charm... Their colour is described as Neyron pink, referencing a famous old rose, while their fragrance is that of May roses, with a subtly irresistible lemony note. They are perfect for creating magnificent, fragrant cut flowers that will brighten your home. This vigorous rose produces long branches from the base which can be trained up a trellis by arching them to encourage floriferous shoots.

The 'Keitsupiatsu' GPT YVES PIAGET® Rose is one of the best climbers for the garden—vigorous yet not overly bulky—combining a strong fragrance with exceptional flowering. Pair it with a Clematis armandii 'Apple Blossom', whose beautiful dark evergreen foliage and very early, slightly pink-tinged white flowers with an utterly delicious fragrance will precede your rose's blooms. If you prefer a floral combination, opt for a Clematis 'White Pearl' with its enchanting star-shaped white flowers that will mingle beautifully with your Yves Piaget climber.
